When wide receiver Calvin Ridley was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars last season, many expected him to have a sensational season with the Jags.
Through the Jaguars' first seven games of the season, he's been inconsistent but has shown some flashes of being a top receiver who opposes threats to defenses. Ridley has recorded 27 receptions for 368 yards, and two touchdowns while averaging 13.6 yards per catch.
Nevertheless, Ridley has had an impact on the Jaguars' offensive success this season and has been a big help to quarterback Trevor Lawrence's successful season.
